XMR Operation 

Powering the XMR 

The XMR does not have an internal power source, therefore providing that supply immediately 
turns the unit on. While the power source can be set within operating range, it is recommended 
that  users  not  use  a  power  source  very  close  to  either  extreme.  Once  the  power  supply  dips 
below 7V, communication may not be possible with the XMR. 

If the power supply is subject to power surges, it may be advisable to use a power supply with an 
average  voltage  of  24  VDC  to  avoid  damaging  the  internal  circuitry  of  the  XMR.  Refer  to  the 

voltage ranges

 for the corresponding appropriate ranges. 

 

LED Indicators 

The  XMR’s  enclosure  allows  visibility  of  its  on/off  status  using  an  LED.  It  is  to  be  used  as  an 
indicator for when the device is initially powered. This same LED also pulses red in the event of a 
self-test failure at start-up.  

Behaviours 

Flashing 4 Hz on power-up 

Device powering up, performing self-test 

Flashing 0.5 Hz after power-up 

Self-test failure 

 

Deployment of the XMR 

The XMR contains GPS and Iridium antennas. Deploying the XMR requires the following: 

 

An XMR with Iridium service activated (using IMEI provided by Xeos) 

 

An external power source from 7 – 32 VDC capable of supplying max 1.5A 

 

An external RS-232 serial device to communicate to the XMR 

 

A suitable deployment environment 

o

 

The top of the XMR must have as good a view of the full sky as possible. 

 

Alongside a wall or tall obstruction will cause coverage to suffer. 

 

The  antenna  surface  must  not  be  obstructed  by  metal  or  wood.  Thick 
amounts of other materials may also cause interference.  

o

 

XMR should not be deployed near (less than 1 meter) other transmitters.
